Based on his Number 1 best selling book ‘The Pope's Children’, economist David McWilliams authors a three-part series examining the economic and social landscape of Ireland in 2006.

David introduces us to ‘The Pope's Children’ a new Irish generation; they are young, sassy and successful. We meet 'DIY Declan', 'Low GI Jane', 'Breakfast Roll Man', 'Yummy Mummy' and the 'HiCos' - the elite whose distance from deckland and the new middle class is measured by their cool sophistication and their ability to feel equally at home on the Boulevard Saint-Michel or on Hill 16.
